The effect of xenobiotics on cytochrome P450 (CYP) and 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) in hepatopancreatic microsome of surf clam, Coelomactra anti-quata, were investigated. The microsome isolated from the digestive gland of the surf clam, collected from the east coast of Korea, was in vitro exposed to p, p -DDT (0.1,0.4 and 1.0 mM) for 30 min and 2,3,7,8-TCDD (0.01, 0.04 and 0.1 ppb) and PCB-153 (0.01, 0.04 and 0.1 ppb) for 7 hr. In the case of DDT exposure, the CYP content and EROD activity of 1.0 mM exposure group increased up to about 117% and 120% of the DMSO solvent control group after 10 min. exposure, respectively. After 2 hr exposure of TCDD, the CYP content and EROD activity were also induced to the range of 103∼110% and 121∼139%, respectively. The PCB-153 exposure group showed 107∼115% of CYP content and 129∼140% of EROD activity after 2 hr exposure. Three test chemicals apparently induced CYP and EROD activity in the microsome of surf clam. The inducing potentials depend en the test chemicals.

Induction of cytochrome P45O (CYP) and 7-etholqresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) in the microsome exposed to 3-methylcholan-throne (MC), $\beta$-naphthoflavone (BNF) and phenobarbital-Na (PB) was investigated, Microsome was isolated from digestive gland of clam (Coelomactra antiquata) and then exposed to each chemical in concentration range of 0.1 to 1.0 mM for 7 hours. The CYP content and EROD activity in the microsome exposed to each chemical significantly increased compared to the control group. The overall CYP and EROD induction potency was in order of MC>BNF>PB. The induction response of EROD was two times higher than that of CYP level in the microsome exposed to MC, but the induction response of EROD was slightly higher than that of CYP level in BNF and PB exposure groups.

Microsomal phospholipase D (PLD) in rat brain was solubilized employing 0.2 % taurodeoxycholate in high ionic strength. Phopholipase D activity was determined by measuring product phophatidic acid (PA) using isotope-labelled dipalmitoylphophatidylcholine as a substrate. The solubilized PLD showed an optimal pH of 6.5 and the highest activity at 30$^{\circ}C.$ These properties were similar to those of microsomal PLD before solubilization. The stimulatory effect of oleic acid was observed at the concentration of 4 mM. When effects of metal ions on PLD activity were examined, alkaline earth metals such as $Mg^{2+},\; Ca^{2+},\; Sr^{2+}, \;Ba^{2+}$ promoted the PA production but $Cu^{2+},\; Cd^{2+},\; Al^{3+},\; Ni^{2+},\; V^{5+}$ showed inhibitory effects.

This study was carried out to measure the in vitro interaction of trialkyltin with the microsomal monooxygenase (MFO) system of the clam, Coelomactra antiquata. Cytochrome P450 (CYP) level and 7-ethonvesorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity were invetigated in the microsome isolated from digestive gland of the clam (C. antiquata) exposed to tributyltin chloride (TBTC), bis-tributyltinoxide (TBTO) and triphenyltin chloride (TPTC). The specific contents of CYP in clam microsome exposedto 0.4 mM TBTC, TBTO and TPTC for 20 minutes were decreased 52, 72 and $40\%$, respectively, compared to control group. The EROD activities also were inhibited by exposure to TBTO ($92\%$) and TPTC ($85\%$) except for TBTC, The level of CYP and the EROD actintles were decreased according to the OTC exposure concentrations. The toxic effects on the level of CYP and the EROD activities were in order of TPTC>TBTC>TBTO in this study. The measurement of CYP level and EROD activity could be applied as a biomarker for environmental study.
